Join us as we discuss Brynne Weaver's Butcher and Blackbird. There are spoilers, so if you've not read the book, please do not let us spoil it for you, unless you do not care about spoilers.

From Brynne Weaver's website:This is the book with the craziest list, (of trigger warnings) so hold on tight *cracks knuckles*. Yes, this really is the list. Yes, it all does happen.

• Eyeballs and eye sockets

• Amateur surgery

• Skin ornaments

• Chainsaws, axes, knives, scalpels - a lot of sharp objects

• Accidental cannibalism

• Not-so-accidental cannibalism

• Questionable use of a mummified corpse

• Lobotomized man servant

• Ill-advised use of kitchen implements

• I’m sorry about the cookies and cream ice cream (I’m not really)

• Detailed sex scenes which include (but are not limited to) cock warming, rough sex, praise kink, anal, adult toys, choking, spitting, dom/sub interactions, genital piercings

• References to parental neglect and child abuse

• Parental loss (not depicted - one parent murdered, one parent passed in child birth)

• References to child sexual assault (not in detail)

• It’s a book about serial killers, so there’s some generally messed-up murder and chaos
